Chapter 19

Jade pecked at her dinner, disappointed at how bland and unemotional Sebastian’s apology was. There were no flowers on the tables this time to help soften it, either. Anthony’s name didn’t come up once, so she still had no idea why he was upset at Sebastian, and it felt like the nail in the coffin that she had to hear through family gossip about his bloody fight with Torin last night.

Was he keeping things from her because he wasn’t interested in a deeper relationship, or was he still trying to protect her from the harsh stuff in his life? She wished things could go back to when everything was good between them.

“It’s ok, honey. I know you have stuff that… happens… that you can’t always talk about. I want to be there for you however I can, though.”

He was quiet for a time before staring blankly down at his food and nodding. He finally took her hands in his and said, “I don’t want to fight. I’m sorry I was such a jerk last night. I mean it.”

Her heart unclenched. With her cat fully awake inside her, she was nearly overwhelmed by the vulnerability she felt from him. He held her hands for a long, long time, and she decided deep down that she wanted to make this work.

Torin sat at the bar with Greg and Eric, a couple wolves who normally didn’t hang out over here in Sebastian’s space, but they amazingly went wherever Torin did. It was an eye opener to realize everything Anthony said was true. He still had power in this family, even if he wasn’t alpha anymore. If Anthony could turn that into some kind of life Torin felt proud of again, well, he was ready. He’d do whatever was necessary to make it happen, so he sat here with the guys and tried to get comfortable being around his alpha.

Sebastian knew he was here and gave him suspicious glances now and again. When his girl finally left for the night, Torin stopped him before he went back to the kitchen.

“Hey.”

“You fucking look in Jade’s direction again, I’ll rip your head off. Got it? And any of your suck ups, too.” He gestured towards Greg and Eric.

Torin put his hands up in surrender. “She’s off limits, got it. I’m not here to fight, remember? I want to tell you something.”

Sebastian irritably grumbled, “What.”

“It should probably be in private.”

He grumbled again, but nodded and led the way to a private room. Once they were alone, he demanded, “What is it? I have work to do.”

Torin playfully huffed, “You’re not an easy guy to talk to, are you?”

“Fuck you! Who’s fault do you think that is? As soon as I gained this fucking touching power you made sure no one talked to me. You can all fuck off and die for all I care. The only reason I even give a shit about any of you is because Anthony wants me to. If he weren’t trying so hard to make this fucking family work, I’d be out of here.
